Logic Artists (Expeditions Conquistador, Clandestine) have released their first developer diary for their next entry in the Expeditions Series, Expeditions Viking.

The first entry in the series focuses on the artwork and character design of the upcoming title, and we get a quick glance at one of the main story characters – Asleifr.

There’s little information on the title at the moment, however as it’s due to release later this year (it has a placeholder 2016 release date) there’s no doubt going to be another dev diary along soon to bring us up to date with the story in the game. Expeditions Conquistador, it’s predecessor, was heavily inspired by real events and locations – so I’m sure we can expect an in depth setting as well as some small evolution on the fantastic combat systems of Conquistador.

Edit: There is some small details on the game which were published on the developer’s website, I’ve added it below.

Expeditions: Viking is the much awaited sequel to Logic Artists’ debut PC title Expeditions: Conquistador. You are the new leader of a small and weak Norse village. Consolidate your power as your neighbors plot against you, and cross the sea to explore the kingdoms of the British Isles where wealth and power awaits. Launch raids to plunder monasteries and villages, or establish trade routes and political alliances on your adventures throughout the Norse lands and beyond. This second installment to the Expeditions series takes you to the dawn of the Viking Age where you must carve your name into the annals of history. Trader or Tyrant? You decide.
